mystery, the description of
the bright objects in the sky
matches exactly What f saw
from my vantage point on
Britannia Road West on
September 24.
- I myself observed a bright
silver or white "light" over
the lake after a telephone call
from an interested citizen.
The "light" was due west of
rr^» Goderich and seemed to hang
in the sky, for a time, oc-
casionally dipping quickly
downwards toward the . lake
and then streaking upwards
again. It did move un-
believably quickly and
.n
I'm convinced it was not a
planet or a star.
It was suggested what I
observed might have been a
weather balloon, and I
haven't discarded that idea.
But certainly, what I saw in
the sky that evening was a
strange object .... and with
my imagination I can easily
accept the premise that it
may have been a flying
saucer, a space ship carrying
beings or equipment from
another world.

Justlast week I was wat-

television and saw Ruth
Norman being interviewed by

severe in the spring. (staff photo)
Larry Solway on Channel 11
Hamilton. I didn't see the
start of the interview, so I'm
not certain where Ms. Nor-
man hags from although I
believe it is somewhere in the
southern United States.
She claims to be the co-
ordinator here on earth for
the more than 30 planets in
the universe. She states
without reservation that
space ships from- some or all
of these -otherplanets will
land on earth and make
contact with earth people
before the end of March 1977.
According to Ms. Norman
(and I found this most in-
teresting in the light of recent
happenings in, Huron County)
spaceships have been
allowing earthmen to sight
them .in recent years so that

become less fearsome . of

She says that if spacemen and
their ships don't land on earth
before March 1977, it will only
be because the Association of
Planets (or whatever it is
called) is not convinced earth
is ready to receive .thein in
peace.
Ms. Norman says the
visitors from space will come
in peace, to teach earthlings
how to travel successfully to
other planets, how to com-
municate etc.
She said lots of other fan-
tastic things, too like the.
fact that in a previous life she
was Mary Magdalene and
that her husband in this life,'
Dr. Norman, was Jesus of
Nazareth in a- previous
existence. .She told Mr,.

Representatives of the•Ministry of the Environment arid
Port Albert residents joined forces to, help alleviate flooding
in the Port Albert area. The, stream created here has
space ships many times at
incredible speeds and that
she'd been to Mars, where
according to Ms. Norman, the
whole civilization (?) is
located beneath the surface of
the planet - which is why the
American probe craft did not
observe any life form there.
But that's not all.
Just last week I was
reminded again of the story of
the captured spacecraft
which is supposed to be in top
secret quarters in the USA.
This ship, ' complete with
crew, : is reported to be
pies vedLsomewhere in the
mid -States where it is being
studied 'by U.S. scientists.
Weird, huh?
Well, what's even more
weird is the new story that
scientists now believe that
next summer (the summer of
1977) the position of the
planets will be such that five
of them will be lined up. The
combined gravitational pull
will draw unusually strong
solar rays out .from the sun
towards earth. According to
my information,the minimal
effect. vii11._be. an extremely
Vthot' summer and an ex-
ceptionally mild winter "in
1977 and 1978. The maximum
effect could be the earth will
be burned up and destroyed.
Does that give you any food
for thought? I thought it

Dear Editor:
Is Tom Wells, Minister of
-Education . forOntario,:
preparing for an election?
Several weeks ago, the
Minister of Education an-
nounced that a new Inter-
mediate Science Guideline
would be ready for the spring
of 1977.
•
On Thursday, Novemberr
25th, I attended a session on
this guideline. The speaker
was Mr. • Jack • Bell,
Curriculum Officer, Ministry
of Education. Mr. Bell is
chairing the• group working
on this guideline.
Mr. Bell -openly admitted to
approximately 50 science
teacher's • that (a), they have
received very few in-
structions from the Minister,
(b) they have not yet started
to write the guideline and (c)
they have no idea what the
guideline will really cover.
This guideline, covering
Grades 7 to 10, must be in the
hands of. the Minister on or
about December 7th, the first
revision on or about
December 22nd and the final
draft on or about January
12th.
In a period of less than two
weeks, the committee must
(a) decide what . is being
taught up to the end of Grade

What' does 'the Minister of
Education; hope to ac=
cbmplish? He wishes to lead
the people of Ontario irito
believing that the Ministry of
Education is getting our.
education system back on
course. Ask any science
teacher _what they think=of
this snowjob. He or she will
tell you that to write a
detailed guideline fora single.
grade should take a minimum
of six months. Mr. Wells
. believes four grades can be
done in less than two weeks.
Ask any teacher what 'they,
think of teaching the same
material to all students. They
will tell you that that is our
reason for having technical
schools, vocational schools,
collegiates, etc. This allows
us to developspecific science
courses related directly to the
students' needs. Mr. Wells
cannot see this.
Mr. Bell stated that- the
guideline will probably be
revised again in two years.
Why not spend more time now
and prepare one that will be
useful for six or eight years.
The present ,method is
detrimental to the continuity
of science teaching. Even
more, it is a waste of tax-
payers money.
Mr. Wells has seen fit to
have eight of the 11 com-
mittee members from the
Science Teachers Association
of Ontario. Then, /when the
guideline is a total failure,
due to lack of preparation
time, Mr. Wells can point his
finger at the science' teachers
and say it was their fault.

World peace
Dear Editor:
What stands in the way of
world peace? Try as they
might, the people of the world
have been unable to achieve
genuine peace. . Why?
Informed men, as early as
1973, are beginning to view
world religions as an obstacle
to peace.
The Daily Oklahoman, of
August 8, 1973, carried an
article by 'John Chamberlain,
editorial commentator for the
King Features Syndicate,
calling attention to - the
("hurdles' interfering in
politics, they're even going so
"That' same attitude
brought a rising spiral of
violence and fear, of riots and
arson and bombings, all in the
name of peace and in., the
name of justice."
Actually the Bible says that
the true,Christian should stay
out of ` politics completely
being totally neutral, and
should proclaim the Kingdom.
of God under Christ Jesus as
the one hope for 'peace and
security: But, instead, world
religion, particularly the
churches of Christendom, has
meddled in politics, has taken.
sides in national disputes, and
has misrepresented Almighty
God.
All this may unpalatable
at this particular season, but
I remember that, not so long
ago, your paper published a
"quote from Benjamin
Franklin (July 6, 1972) :. ''`If
all printers were determined
not to print anything till they'
were sure it would offend no
one, .there would be very little
printed."
In all sincerity
